Roll Call: Leo and I

[Photo taken at 7pm from the back porch.] I just got a call from Leo, at work. He was expecting to be turned loose early tonight, and let the hurricane crew take over. But with the latest storm coordinates, the plant is ready to cancel the hurricane warning, send the extra crews home, and get ready to start back up. Leo is ecstatic that tonight will be his last for a while...at 6am, he's "officially" on vacation! While the water is a bit choppy this evening, it just looks like another hot September evening. Of course, for those of us this far down the coastline, it just might be. I'm going to do a little washing this evening, maybe tackle some homework, and rest up. We currently have no plans to make a run for it. It looks like we just might be out of the woods. [Photo taken at 7pm from the back yard.] We are very concerned about all of our family members, and the problems they may be facing after this is all over. But at the moment, it looks like we are coming out the best. We hope you'll all keep in touch and let us know what we can do to help. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all while we wait on the storm to arrive. Morning will make the next few days a WHOLE lot more predictable!
